About Fake
Shell Engine Oil: If you suspect that
you may have purchased Counterfeit Shell
Engine Oil, we recommend that you smell the oil. Engine oil
which
smells of burning has been used and will be fake. We also
advise checking the inside of the container for dirt
etc. If there are deposits of soot in the Shell
Engine Oil container, this is also a clear sign that the engine oil is almost
certainly fake.
Only ever buy Shell Engine Oil from
a recommended supplier - do not risk
expensive damage to your engine by
using cheap - Counterfeit Shell
Engine Oil.

Despite the existence of counterfeit
Shell oil, fake Shell oil and fake
Shell Brake Fluid - fake Shell Clutch
Fluid is extremely
rare in the UK. This is largely due
to efforts made by and on behalf of
Shell UK.

However; in line
with the Shell commitment to the
supply of high quality oils and the
very best in customer service, Shell
and UK Anti Piracy remain vigilant
and will act against any and all
acts of counterfeiting in the
interests of Shell customers.
